Study Objective: To develop an automatic mechanical device capable of performing active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR in laboratory animals.
Design: A swine model was used to study standard and ACD CPR. One-minute periods of standard mechanical chest compressions were alternated with mechanical ACD CPR.
Setting: University hospital laboratory.
Interventions: A commercially available device that provided standard chest compressions only was modified to deliver ACD CPR.
Results: The absolute difference in intrapleural pressure and tidal volume almost doubled during ACD CPR compared with that with standard CPR.
Conclusion: The presence of a greater negative change in intrapleural pressure confirmed that active decompression of the chest had occurred and that the device was capable of performing ACD CPR. The device provides consistent rate, depth, force, and duty cycle.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of a new CPR technique called AHUP-CPR, which combines head/thorax elevation, active compression-decompression, and an impedance threshold device, compared to traditional CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.
- It was conducted in France from October 2019 to October 2022, involving 122 patients, and aimed to measure the peak end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO) values as a marker for cardiac output and organ perfusion during CPR.
- Results showed that AHUP-CPR significantly increased the mean peak ETCO values (from 30.3 mmHg to 40.7 mmHg), indicating better circulation, but there was no significant difference in the rates of

Background: The combination of active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACD-CPR) with an impedance threshold device (ITD) and controlled head-up positioning (AHUP-CPR) is associated with improved outcomes compared with conventional CPR (C-CPR). This study focused on the role of active decompression (AD) during AHUP-CPR.
Methods: Farm pigs (n = 10, ∼40 kg) were anesthetized, intubated and ventilated.
Despite low out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) survival rates within the UK, animal studies hint at improved cerebral blood flow via a bundled neuroprotective CPR approach. The CABARET study introduces three key devices: the Head Up Position (HUP), Active Compression/Decompression (ACD) CPR, and the Impedance Threshold Device (ITD). A survey involving 27 UK pre-hospital critical care services indicated none are using these interventions widely, either alone or bundled.

The study aims to assess cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) outcomes in cardiac arrest patients when using CPR augmentation devices, such as the ZOLL ResQCPR system (Chelmsford, MA) or its components ResQPUMP and ResQPOD, which are manual active compression-decompression (ACD) device and impedance threshold device (ITD), respectively. The analysis included a Google Scholar-based literature review that took place between January 2015 and March 2023 and included recent publications with PubMed IDs or widely cited articles to assess the effectiveness of the ResQPUMP and ResQPOD or similar devices. This review also includes studies quoted by ZOLL, but those were not considered in our conclusion since the authors were employed by ZOLL.

Aim: Increasing venous return during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been shown to improve hemodynamics during CPR and outcomes following cardiac arrest (CA). We hypothesized that a high central venous pressure amplitude (CVP-A), the difference between the maximum and minimum central venous pressure during chest compressions, could serve as a robust predictor of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in addition to traditional measurements of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and end-tidal CO (etCO) in a porcine model of CA.
Methods: After 10 min of ventricular fibrillation, 9 anesthetized and intubated female pigs received mechanical chest compressions with active compression/decompression (ACD) and an impedance threshold device (ITD).
